DIY Bohemian Striped Separates - Ruffle wrap skirt + ruffle sleeve top

Saturdays are all about family time. Big breakfasts. Morning chores. Parks and walks and hikes and seasonal activities. Movie nights and bbqing. I looooooooove Saturdays.

I won't name names... but SOMEONE kept me up all night. So I'm a little bit of a zombie this morning. But, a thankful zombie nonetheless. Thankful for the sunshine and warmth, even though it creeps into our non-air-conditioned house a little too much.

Floral Maxi Easter Dress

I have always LOVED Easter. It's a beautiful celebration of new life, spring, sunshine, and Christ's life, sacrifice, and resurrection. It just seems like a really happy + hopeful day to me. Growing up I remember getting a new dress every year especially for Easter Sunday. Always in bright, spring colors and often with poofy tulle and fabric roses.

By the time I get to Sunday every week, I feel drained and tired and just overwhelmed by chores and work and everything going on.

DIY BABY CARDIGAN

 Yesterday our little Grayson boy was blessed in our church. It was a pretty special day for our family. :) It was one of those days where my heart was just... mush. haha. We were surrounded by our immediate and extended family and I was just in awe at the amazing people that love my little boy. It made me feel hopeful about his future and all of the souls here & in Heaven helping in his journey.

A few weeks ago, I got this crazy idea that I wanted to make something for each of the three of us to wear for G's blessing
